The Speaker rejected the amendment which would have allowed those who died before September 2011 equal right to redress
We have sought a copy of the advise the speaker received from the Bill Clerk
Edwin Poots is refusing to explain a highly irregular decision which makes little sense & has tens of millions of pounds riding on it. Stormont's Speaker says we've no right to know why he acted as he did. Amid growing questions, this may end up in court.

Survivors worst fears confirmed. The speaker went AGAINST official advice to block legislation to deprive them of their redress. https://t.co/foDdEbuTMu

The @niassembly speaker refused the amendment proposed by committee to include survivors who died after 29 September 2011
This amendment was to support many who have campaigned for over a decade for justice.
Our clients & the MLAs ask why
@MckeeganClaire
Our @MckeeganClaire acts for the #MotherandBabyhomes survivors groups
'Our clients are shocked and appalled that the amendment to include posthumous claims has been excluded by the assembly speaker without any explanation or rationale.'

Today seen the opening of Nevara House, a safe place designated specifically to those impacted by Mother & Baby Institutions, Magdalene Laundries and Workhouses. It was a beautiful day with input by Victims/Survivors. We planted a tree, listened to poetry and WAVE Choir
